Screws
Machine Screws Manufacturer, Wholesaler, Supplier & Exporter
Machine screws are precision-threaded fasteners used wherever a tapped hole or nut secures light-to-medium duty assemblies. We manufacture and export machine screws in multiple head styles, drive types, and materials for electronics, appliance, and machinery buyers.
Machine screws sit in an odd middle ground buyers sometimes overlook: too small to be treated with the same rigor as a structural bolt, but precise enough that a mismatched drive type or head style can hold up an entire assembly line. Electronics and appliance manufacturers in particular tend to standardize on one or two head/drive combinations across a whole product line specifically to avoid stocking dozens of near-identical small parts.
Drive type is worth getting right the first time. Phillips is the global default and cheapest to source, but it cams out under high torque, which is why higher-torque automated assembly lines often specify Pozidriv or Torx instead — both grip the driver more positively and resist stripping during automated screwdriving.
Minimum Order — Container Quantity (Approx.)
Machine screws are small and light, so a standard 20ft container (~20 tons) typically holds several million to over ten million pieces in common sizes — exact quantity depends heavily on length and diameter and is confirmed at quote time.
You don't need a full container to order. Hurain Engitech & Trade — the group Global Fasteners Exports operates under — regularly ships smaller, partial-container (LCL) orders of just a few pallets or boxes for buyers who don't yet need FCL volume, consolidated with other cargo to keep freight cost reasonable.

Plating/finishing
Zinc, nickel, or passivation finishing depending on material and buyer spec.
- 4
Packing & export
Bulk cartons or small-parts boxes suited to retail or OEM repackaging.
Export Track Record
Supplied in bulk to electronics and appliance manufacturers as well as general hardware wholesalers.
Real-World Use Cases
Electronics enclosure assembly
Small pan or countersunk screws securing PCB mounts, covers, and housings.
Appliance and panel assembly
Zinc-plated or stainless screws for consumer and industrial appliance housings.
Switchgear and electrical panels
Corrosion-resistant screws for panel and terminal cover fastening.
Common Mistakes Buyers Make
Assuming all Phillips drivers fit the same
Phillips screws come in different sizes (PH0–PH3); an undersized driver will cam out and strip the head under torque.
Specifying the wrong head style for the counterbore
A pan head won't sit flush in a countersunk hole, and a flat head will over-recess in a straight-sided bore.
Using standard steel screws in humid environments
Unplated or under-plated screws corrode quickly in high-humidity electronics enclosures — stainless or passivated finishes cost more but avoid field failures.
Glossary of Terms
- Cam-out
- When a screwdriver slips out of the drive recess under torque — common with Phillips heads at high driving speed.
- Self-locking thread
- A thread-forming feature (or added nylon patch) that resists loosening without a separate lock washer.
- Undercut head
- A head design with a slight recess under the bearing surface to reduce burring on thin sheet materials.
Quality Inspection We Perform
Dimensional inspection
Thread gauge, length, diameter, and head/drive geometry checked against the specified standard.
Material verification
Grade and material composition confirmed against the order specification, with mill test certificates on request.
Mechanical testing
Tensile strength, hardness, and proof-load testing on sample batches, particularly for structural and high-tensile grades.
Finish & coating check
Plating thickness, galvanizing coverage, or passivation quality inspected before packing.
HS Code & Customs Classification
Most fasteners fall under HS Chapter 73 (articles of iron or steel) or Chapter 74/76 for brass and aluminum items — the exact 8-10 digit subheading depends on the specific product and material. We include the HS code on the commercial invoice; confirm the applicable import duty with your customs broker, since rates vary by country and trade agreement.
Packaging & Export Labeling
Export packing is chosen to survive ocean freight and container loading without corrosion or damage: corrosion-protected paper or oil coating where needed, then cartons, drums, or bulk bags, palletized or crated for the container. We can match specific labeling, barcoding, or carton-marking requirements for OEM and repeat buyers.
